[PATCH 71/73] jffs2: Add whiteout support [ver #2]

David Howells dhowells at redhat.com

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd at openwrt.org>

Add support for whiteout dentries to jffs2.

XXX - David Woodhouse suggests several changes and provides an untested patch.
See:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/50466/

XXX - Backward compatibility?  Creating a whiteout on a JFFS2 file system can
only happen if it is deliberately mounted "-o union" so there is some way to
prevent creation of whiteouts on a file system you want to later mount with an
earlier (no support for whiteout) file system.  However, ext2/3 has much more
robust methods (explicit fs feature flag) to prevent such an occurance.
